Softgel Co. provides contract manufacturing services for Softgels, tinctures and primarily to companies in the hemp industry but have expanded to other non-cannabinoid services. We are excited to be a part of this rapidly expanding market and we thank you for your consideration of our services. Our goal is to make the process of ordering your products as smooth and stress-free as possible. Please read through the following document which provides some key production-related details as well as our pricing structure. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
Most of the products we manufacture consist of a hemp concentrate (extract or distillate) combined with a carrier oil (and occasionally other ingredients).
Customers that send in their own extract and or premix for production must have a COA from an accredited testing lab. Our standard procedure is always sending the extract/premix out for potency to ensure the accuracy of the COA prior to manufacturing. Should the COA not have any of the below tests (they are required) we will also send out for the additional tests.
Price breakdown for lab testing:
Customers have three general options for how they choose to source and provide these raw materials:
Our standard softgel (size 8 oval; 0.5 ml fill volume). While the theoretical yield per gallon is 7,570 softgels, we factor in a 7% production loss, giving an expected yield of 7,000 softgels per gallon. The minimum order quantity for Bovine and Vegan encapsulation is 15 gallons (Vegan -gallon, which will yield approximately 105,000 softgels.
Yes, we can bottle and label your softgels. Our standard container offering includes a white HDPE 120 cc bottle and a 75cc bottle with a white cap (with foam pressure seal), desiccant, and date/product identifier coding. Customers may choose to provide their own bottles or caps. Please email or call for bottling prices.
Alternative caps, seals, and other bottling options are available (e.g. heat induction seals, child-resistant caps,), which will incur an added cost (please contact Softgel Co. for details). Softgel Co. does not print labels, so the customer is responsible for providing these. Labels need to be tightly wound in style #4, (leading left edge.) We can give you a source for a label company if you need one. We will not accept labels from a sticker company. We also have boxing capabilities. Softgel Co will supply you with the box template. Softgel Co has automated boxing for softgels, tinctures, and blister packs.Softgel Co. manufacturers in bulk. There is a charge for shipping containers.
We offer tincture bottles in volumes of 10/15ml, 1 oz. and 2 oz. The minimum order quantity for tinctures is 640 units. Tincture production cost is based on quantity and includes amber glass bottles, glass droppers, shrink wrap around cap and bottleneck, labeling, date/product identifier coding. Please call or email for pricing.
Our guaranteed lead time is 6 weeks from the date we receive your raw materials (extract to be formulated, pre-mix formula, customer supplied bottles, caps, droppers and labels, if needed) with required certificate of analysis on all material to be encapsulated or bottled, and any supplies provided by customer (bottles, caps and labels). Failure to provide all required materials will increase turnaround time. Production will not start until a full-panel test from our 3rd Party testing facility is received and approved by customer. No finished products will be released until we receive test results from the third-party laboratories we contract with (this typically takes 5-7 business days).
Softgel Co. requires a 50% down payment that is indicated on the estimate to begin production. Final Payment is due before an order will be shipped! Softgel Co. accepts cash/checks, ACH and wire transfers. The customer is responsible for setting up their own shipping and the cost for the shipping (we can ship on your FedEx, or UPS account). If customer wants insurance for shipping, please add it when you set up your shipment.
NOTE: Customers must pay in advance for any house extract to be used in production.
